AND WINTER IT IS

AND THEN IT IS WINTERYou know time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware ofthe passing years. It seems like yesterday that I was young, justmarried, and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, itseems like eons ago, and I wonder where all those years went.

I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back thenand of all my hopes and dreams. But, here it is... the winter of mylife, and it catches me by surprise... How did I get here so fast? Wheredid the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing olderpeople through the years and thinking that those "older people" wereyears away from me and that winter was so far off that I could notfathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.

But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting grey... they moveslower and I see an older person in myself now. Some are in better andsome worse shape than me... but, I see the great change... Not like theones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, theirage is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we usedto see and never thought we'd be.

Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for theday! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Causeif I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!

And so... now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all theaches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do thingsthat I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, thatthough the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth... it's over. A newadventure will begin!

Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done... things Ishould have done, but indeed, there are also many things I'm happy tohave done. It's all in a lifetime.

So, if you're not in your winter yet... let me remind you, that it willbe here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like toaccomplish in your life, please do it quickly! Don't put things off toolong!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can TODAY, as you cannever be sure whether this is your winter or not!

You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, LIVE FOR TODAY and say all the things that you want your loved onesto remember.. and hope that they appreciate and love you for all thethings that you have done for them in all the years past!!

"Life" is a GIFT to you. The way you live your life is your gift tothose who come after. Make it a fantastic one.

Remember: "It is Health that is real Wealth and not pieces of gold andsilver."

~Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect!

~Going out is good.. coming home is even better!

~You forget names... but it's OK, because other people forgot they evenknew you!!!

~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything....especially golf.

~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but youreally do care that you don't care to do them anymore.

~You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed.It's called "pre-sleep."

~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF"switch..

~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"...???

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear itanywhere.

~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless?!"

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~Everybody whispers.

~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you willnever wear.

~But "Old" is good in some things:Old Songs, Old movies ...and best of all, our dear ...OLD FRIENDS!!

Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!"Send this on to other "Old Friends" and let them laugh in agreement!
